KCF0107 07/29/19 11:05:33 PM #14:	Third Round Redskins DT Star Lotulelei (69th overall) - While I am not looking forward to the possibility of having to spell his name frequently in future game summaries, he landed in a fantastic situation. He gets to be the #1 backup to stalwart Kevin Williams, the supremely underrated Gabe Watson that also features young DEs in J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney. This scary DL could become even scarier fast, and I fully expect Lotuelelei to reap the benefits and succeed the the 36-year-old Williams or 33-year-old Watson eventually. Bengals C Brandon Linder (80th overall) - The Bengals interior OL has trouble staying healthy (starting Gs missed 13 games combined last season alone), which depending on Linder's rating might be great news for his bid for playing time. They could theoretically become the top backup at all three spots, and perhaps a fresh face along the OL will help an offense that feels a little stuck right now Lions SS Karl Joseph (79th overall) - The Lions have made a big push to improve their defense this offseason, so to come away with a possible starter in the middle of the draft after being down some draft picks is a best-case scenario for them. It's a perfect match. Honorable Mentions Jaguars CB E.J. Gaines (82nd overall) Raiders DT Sylvester Williams (93rd overall) *Regret Pick* - Falcons selecting OTs Tim Martin and Denzelle Good over Karl Joseph (or any safety really) I'm not saying that this is what MMX was thinking, but I get the idea of accumulating multiple players at a single position early to create competition and let the best man win, whenever that may be. However, I think that competition works better in practice with defensive players than it does offensive, and based on how the round shook out, he probably should have grabbed Joseph first, then the OT later. Picking Martin and then "reaching" for a safety, preferably a FS, next would also work. The decline of Thomas Davis is quite sad. After starting every game through the first eight seasons, the injury bug hit Davis and hasn't been the same. He started all 16 games last season, but had just 27 tackles and 2 INTs to his name. He is still far and away the best safety option on the team, and maybe even among the free agents, but they need some depth behind him and the enigma that is Atari Howard. They didn't do so until the 7th round. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:925360768] in Board 8 Na...
